According to a published report form TMZ, Marilyn Manson has turned himself in on an active arrest warrant out for him of Gilford, New Hampshire. Manson, a.k.a. Brian Warner, turned himself in last Friday (July 2) on the warrant in Los Angeles. Manson then went through the Los Angeles Police Department’s booking process before being released on personal recognizance bail. He has agreed to not commit any crimes while on release, not have any contact with the alleged victim, and to appear at all of his court hearings.
Police Chief Anthony Bean Burpee had previously said that under the agreement, Manson, whose legal name is Brian Hugh Warner, would turn himself in on the warrant in Los Angeles. An arraignment at Laconia District Court could be scheduled by mid-August, depending on when Manson turns himself in, Bean Burpee said. Manson is charged with simple assault and is accused of assaulting a videographer at a concert at Bank of New Hampshire Pavilion on Aug. 18, 2019. Witnesses said Manson spit at the videographer’s camera several times. This legal trouble follows by the current case by the Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Department investigating multiple allegations of sexual assault and abuse stemming from his former fiancee Evan Rachel Wood going public with allegations, among many others.
A class A misdemeanor in New Hampshire carries a possible jail sentence of less than one year and a fine of up to $2,000.
Bean Burpee said Manson would not need to appear in New Hampshire for his arraignment. He could waive his appearance and enter a not guilty plea, or the court, in accordance with pandemic protocols, cancel the initial appearance and schedule a case status hearing instead. Bean Burpee said he believes the attention that the charges received on social media pushed Manson to address the warrant.
He rejected a statement Manson’s attorney made claiming that the alleged victim filed a police report only after her attempt to get a financial payout from Manson was rejected. Bean Burpee said she made the report the day after the concert, but the investigation took several months to complete.
News 9 is reaching out to Manson, his attorney and publicist for comment.
The Gilford Police Department has an active arrest warrant for Brian Hugh Warner (aka: Marilyn Manson) for two counts of Class A misdemeanor Simple Assault stemming from a 2019 incident at the Bank of New Hampshire Pavilion. The alleged assaults involved a videographer. Mr. Warner, his agent and legal counsel have been aware of the warrant for some time and no effort has been made by him to return to New Hampshire to answer the pending charges.
- Mr. Warner had been performing a concert at the Bank of NH Pavilion on August 18, 2019, when the alleged simple assaults occurred.
- The issuance of an arrest warrant is not a presumption of guilt.
- The videographer had been subcontracted by a NH based company to video the concert, and had been located in the stage pit area when the alleged assaults occurred.
- A Class A misdemeanor in NH can carry a possible jail sentence of less than one year and a fine of $2,000.00 or less.
- The alleged assaults are not sexual in nature as has been asked by several other media outlets due to a number of other allegations made against Mr. Warner. See Less
